Bad as the Government of France was, the People might have matte it better s but lost in the wilt's 31 yid! liherly,. their leaders engendered the evils they•intended to prevent, HMI I hey was ied With unoffending nations, to constitute them one and iltdivitlable. They then ruined a good cause, and cultivated a wict,ed one, until all their ag gressions, enormities, and atrocities, have ended in defeat and disgrace, misery and bloodshed. A*.hens began its ruin in a mad expensive war on Sicily, which never gave it offence. This brought Lacedemon on its own subjects and al thongh under Alcibiades they were partly vic torious, it was at last conquered under Lysander,. and became subject to thirty Tyrants. Lacedemon a'so, in lording-it over Greece, had the same fate : several cities warred against it, together with the Thehans, headed by Epaminon (las, until they : all fell under the servitude of Ma n The lust of dominion increases with the vanity of success, until all is lost in a genera! grasp. The state of France, under Unman Butcher, v r t, o turned the fields of Europe into slaughter- houses for men, leads to these thoughts, with an op /It-opt i ire reflection that, like Agag, a wicked King of Amelak,and aneuemy ot lirael,lie deserves to be hewn in rei es by another Samuel, exclaiming, by sword has made women childless, so shall mother be childless mong women." After the murder of the Fret.ch King, the Go vernment fell it:to the bands of Adventurers, who 'murdered one another, until Blonaparte, a Gene ral ot Art;Hely (a-parvenu), came to Paris, seized the Chair of the Convention, front whence he forted his hi mho, and made himself Chief Con sul ; in character, as it seemed to be the sense of the People, England made peace with him. This, in his ambition, he broke before the year was out, and he, was afterwards beat by sea and land, as well as defeated in his designs on India, by the arms of Great Britain and Ireland. He invaded surrounding Nations on the Conti nent, and his injtirie., insults, and perfidy, at last roused them into a genet al alliance against him.— Th e y pervesed his efforts, and drove hint back to the capital. England, alone, fought bin] through two Kingd.rns, Portugal and Spain, into France; R +ia , Prussia, and Germany drove hint out of :Muscovy; Poland and Austria up to the gates of Paris, where he was compelled to declare his ab dication of a Throne he had usurped, on the sparing of his life. This brought home the legi timate Sovereign to rule a degenerated people in peace, and improve lue Constitution of their Con u try. ' The humbled Tyrant now of necessity submit ted to cooditions, and the Isle of Elba was chrism for his retreat. Here he remained but a few months, when he quitted it, broke his engage ments, and landed again in Frunce, t+ here he ap pr .a&,ett the seat of Government, which induced the King, in his - prudence, to quit it, anti seek his ssfcty .41 it , frontiers. Such an unexpected and pit-viral *invasion justly excited the resentment o the Allies, tsho re-armed to chastise his ingrati Wife They came, they saw, ar.d compered him 11, at ran a , Nay to Farts, and they fOilowet' '1 to its walls. lie declared, a second time, his abdit a•i''n of a 'Enron e lie had polluted by his a tumination- , , and an usurpation doubly audit- clong, diso,yned by the Senate, deserted by the Army. and in fear of death.

England, therefore, in her mercy, tran sl►orte<i hies for life to the Island of Saint 'Mena, as a criminal of the blackest dye.

It is with much anxiety that We state The Con tinuance of the Cotton SpinWer's in a state of whir!' may properly be stiled Rebellion, so far as refroctory spirit exteoyik Unfortunately there see some Icing f;otitiiirata, arrkul., tar; ing, and ferocious, who overawe the rest. The Magistrates have acted with proper vigour ; and yet with most commendable forbearance. That a vast majority are withheld by fear and shame from returning to their duty, there is no doubt. Per haps an offer of reward for the discovery of the Chief Agitators, as well as a warning against penal consequences, may render the principal Promoters less daring, and induce others to resume their indus trious labcurs for the support.of their starving families. The evil is melancholy and alarming.— We subjoin the following notice, and more parti culars respecting the recent fire, which, however, we still hope was really, accidental, though it af forded an occasion for triumph to the mischievous Spirits who keep the town and neighbourhood in CoMmution " Whereas it appears that unlawful combinations, to a con siderable extent, hare fur some time prevailed amongst the persons usually employed in cotton fictories, which com binations have recently manifested themselves, not only in great numbers assembling and parading the streets, but in besetting particular mills, and forcibly preventing well disposed individuals from pursuing their employment : And whereas the last-mentioned practices have been already at tempted with breaches of the public peace: The Borough reeve and Constables of Manchester therefore give Notice, that it is equally their duty and determination to suppress, by every legitimate means, all tumultuous proceedings, and to bring to justice all who arc concerned in viola tion, of the public peace, as well as to protect the parties mho are desirous of attending their work. And they further give Notice, that (independently of the serious consequences which the law inflicts upon those who are implicated in acts of tumult or outrage) the parties ordinarily, concerned in the unlawful Conspiracies before-mentioned, are liable to be pro secuted and punished, either in a summary way before two Magistrates under the Combination Act, which limits the ex tent Or Imprisonment, or by indictment at common law, which leaves the duration of imprisonment to the discretion of the Court before whom the offenders may be tried.

" On Monday evening, the 27th ult. a very de structive fire broke out in the premises, No. 9, Back George -street, and destroyed, in a .very short time, the warehouses occupied. by Messrs. 'l'. and J. Todd, and Messrs. Calvert, from which, by active exertions, the cash and books, and a large quantity of goods, were rescued, and, by the excellent management of the fire-engines, the de structive element was prevented flout spreading to the adjoining premises, which at one time were in imminent danger. Au immense multitude of Persons collected upon the occasion, and, we a re sorry to add, not from the laudable wish of ren dering assistance to the sufferers, but to enjoy the spectacle which the destructive couflagration af forded their depraved minds. The motive for congregating being so very improper, it is nut to be wondered at that irregularity and disorder ensued, and the presence of so many persons, who had no disposition to assist in removing so severe a visitation as that they witnessed, was in itself an increase' of the evil, since the crowd prevented the full exertion of the powers of those, who, actuated by better mu.i►es, had resorted to the spot from a wish to render all possible assistance to the sufferers. Disorder and irregularity every moment extended themselves, and the maligoaut gratification of seeine property so destroyed very rapkly increased, till most active mischief broke tint, and stones and mud were thrown at several Gentlemen who endeavoured to change the up roar to order ; and one of t heat received a violent blow on his face, which bled profusely. Hap pily, however, these turbulent proceedings were not suffered to become more violet]: (for popular tumult is like fire, it will sot ead and increase if not chef ked), the Riot Act was read, and a troop of horse was marched to the spot, to support the lega lised authorities against a spirit as much at variance with the common feelings ot humanity, as with the precepts of religion and the laws of the country. At night, we are' happy .to say, all was quiet, and the persons who had so much disgraced themselves retired home. The wicked spirit which they had manifested afforded another proof of the baleful efft et of idleness, which saps the foundation of every virtue, and prepares the mind for the seeds of crime. 'rite late refractory conduct of many of the working classes, .instigated by evil spirits who delight in mischief, which has made them absent themselves from the duty they owe to themselves; their families, and society, bad in some degree fitted them for mischief;. and, but for the watchful conduct of the Magistracy, would probably have broken out into acts of extreme violence. iiihen a considerable part of the po pulation of a town is unemployed, there is al ways much danger to the rest ot the community. This is a truth so well understood, that it has be come a proverb to say, "1 he Devil always makes sure of a man who has nothing to do.' "--(Man chester Herald ) MANCIIMER, iVICUST 4. " A serious fire broke out here, between the hour); of seven and eight on Monday evening, on the premises in Back George-sheet, of which Messrs. Thomas and Joseph Todd, hat-lining and silk-manufacturers, arf principal occupants. The inveteracy of the flames defied the best exertions to subdue them, and the whole premises fell a prey, in a short space of time. Great fears were enter tained for the safety of the dwelling-houses in the front street, but the well-directed efforts of the fire•enginerr preserved them from a fate which formidably threatened them. One of the contin gencies of this disaster was the removal of a Lady, wilt) had been recently confined ; she was ettlrieti from the spot on a litter. Under what cifcum stance", and in what particular direction 'of the j premises the are origii;atee, is At pi.:l - et.t . Mete mystery.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday last. The following are Extracts : " Palm, Au°. 3 —The King held a Court yesterday at the Thuilleries, which was nume rously and btilliatitly attended. Amongst those present were Marshals the Dukes of Dantzic, de Trevise, de Tareute, and Count Jourdan, the Prll lusters, a great number of Peers, &c. Marshal the. Duke de Reggio presented to the King and the Princes, the Colonels, Lieutenant-Colonels, and Officers of the Ist and 4 h Regi.ments of the Guard, the 2d Regiment of lIor•e Grenadiers, the Regiment of noise Chasseura, &c. " A Memoir is eirenlating at Park, entitled Preliminary Observations respecting the Baron Ca nnel, Lieutenant-General of the King, Inspector ! General of Infantry: This Memoir is signed by M. I3errier, junior, Advocate. i• The 27th ult. at half-past seven in the even ing, the Duke of Gloucester disembarked at Brest, where be was received by the corps of Marines and the offirers of the garrison. The Count de Goordon, Marine Commandant, gave a dinner to his Royal Highness, who expressed himself highly sat ',tied with his reception. It is thought the Duke will proceed :nun thence to Rochefort, then to Bourdeaux, that he will make a tour in Swit zerland and Italy, and return to England by the way of Park. "'Tie Courier de Strasburgh states, that Marshal the Duke de Ftltte is very ill at his estate of Neu- wilier, near Saverne. " The same Journal says, it appears certain that the Duke of Wellinz,ton will, iu the course of August, continence the inspection of thellif ferent cotps d'Arrn6e. He will be on the 28:h or 291) at the Chateau of Reich shoffen, io the environs of which, as last year, the Wm - tem-burgh troops will he review , - et!. Orders have been issued for the several corps commanded by the Count de Seheler to as semble on the 10th in the environs of Wisse►nhurg, for preparatory exercises. The review of the Austrian troops will take place at the some pe- liod, in the Plain of I-Inglienan. Several Regi. tnents cantoned in Haut Rhin s ill also proceed thither. " It is said that the Independent vessel which has entered the river, of Bourdeaux is a flag of truce from Buenos Ayres, and that it has Imre(' per sons commissioned to solicit the free exercise of maritime commerce for the vessels of that city. 4 ‘ The Count de . Woronzoff, Commandant of 'the Russian Contingent in France, basset out for " The Chevalier Bredeslow, Capt. of hussars in the Pru , sian service,' was bitten by his dog at Dantzic, in the course Of February lest. The wound was very slight, but the dog was killed, it baring at the same time torn its roaster's hei lisse, and being supposed to he attacked by mad nes's The .Captain, however, paid no attention to the wound, and did not think it necessary to have recourse to medical aid. On the 10th July having asked (or a glass of water, the sight of this bevirage inspired him with a repugnance which he could not overcome. Symptoms of hy- dropkobia then began to manifest themselves.— Ahdical aid was called in, but without effect, and he died on the 12th.
